At #Boskone2024, I served on the "Write My Doctoral Thesis: Science Edition" panel and the moderator (Kenneth Schneyer) got set up to play Pomp & Circumstance, and I asked, "I hope that's the Wendy Carlos" version and he nodded curtly to admit that it was. And it was! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nNgDh5PS8w

I have returned home from #Boskone2024. I had a great time! I saw some familiar faces (masked) and met a lot of new people. My reading went well and I felt like I made good contributions at my panels — all of my panel-mates were fantastic. Thanks to @briancebuhl (and Melissa) for their tireless work organizing the dealer table so I could just have fun and sell books. https://images.bierfaristo.com/view.php?p=17076973111457

I love when someone walks up and says, "Ah! This is what I was looking for!" #boskone2024
Everything went great today: My reading was well attended and I felt like I made substantive contributions on both the Speculative Evolution and the Romance in Speculative Fiction panels. The Boskone Book Festival was not quite as well attended as I might have hoped. But it seemed to be a general phenomenon — not just that I was overlooked somehow. And I got a good free IPA out of the deal. So, all in all, a fantastic day at the convention. #boskone2024
I am ready for the Boskone Book Festival. #Boskone2024
The Water Dragon Publishing table is set up at #boskone2024 and I've sold several books already. A fan stopped by who did a little happy dance to show me how much he enjoyed my stories. ❤️
So I'm hoping to fit some time at Boskone into my weekend, to scope it out for future full-attendance. I have time tonight OR tomorrow during the day. But I'm feeling weirdly nervous, as it's my first time! What should I be sure to check out?? Welcoming advice to temper these nerves! #sff #Boskone2024

I have arriven! #Boskone2024

I have a prettier view this time.

I have a car full of books, Nishino Kana on the stereo, and I'm headed out to #Boskone2024.
I have received my final schedule for Boskone! https://stevendbrewer.com/boskone-2024-schedule/ #Boskone2024
Boskone 2024 Schedule - Steven D. BREWER

Last year, I was scheduled to appear at Boskone, but ended up going into the hospital the week before. Tempting fate, I have again proposed myself as a participant and have now received my final schedule. On Friday Feb 9, since this is during the academic year, I will have office hours at 10am, and
